Site constraints 1

Agricultural land, grade 3a, surveyed
Best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Source: Natural England's post-1988 ALC field survey (Cambridge). Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 2; the survey is the definitive reading.
Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.
